Yes, I saw that. What's still a little murky is
how best to exploit the thing
in the context of "normal" (if there is such a thing) home computing. I
certainly don't know what's normal. There's software installed that's
undocumented (unsupported by registration doc's), so it will have to go, but I'm
not interested in going out and buying software to load the thing up so that it
can do some basic correspondence. They both have Claris Works loaded, but since
there's no CD and no doc, I have to say it's got to be flushed. Too bad since
that purports to have all the stuff that's needed. There's even a (single) copy
of the manual suggesting that the software stayed wherever these boxes came
from. (makes my skin crawl to end a sentence with a preposition, but it would
sound too "stilted" to construct the sentence correctly ... )
These machines shipped with Claris Works pre-installed and on the system
CD - at least they did here in the UK. Claris Works is real easy to use
and comes with comprehensive on-line help - click on the question mark
icon, top right, when in Claris Works. I still use it for my normal word
processing, you don't need much horsepower for that!
Video equipped models also came with Avid Videoshop.
